According to Compas et al., what type of coping is related to greater avoidance and to higher symptoms of anxiety/depression in the adolescent?

AnswersA. (a) counselors can use music to assist grief-stricken clients; (b) grief occurs along a continuum; and (c) a spiritual framework for grief resolution and music intervention provides an effective venue for working with grieving clients. B. Those authors found that it was difficult for young school-age children to understand the concept of cancer due to their concrete mode of thinking. They often described the illness as "it" and their emotional responses were concerned primarily with fear, loneliness, anger, and uncertainty about the future.C. (a) "test the waters" by using music creatively in practice; (b) incorporate prose, narrative, or poetry writing as an integral part of grief work; (c) ask clients to write about the positive and negative aspects of their grief; (d) ask clients to personalize lyrics for their favorite songs (e.g., "Amazing Grace," popular folk or contemporary music); (e) meet clients where they are in the grieving process and build toward a mutually agreeable direction; and (f) join colleagues with similar interests and use songs that have been tested in the field.D. The individual, although experiencing grief autonomously, does in fact project and propel his or her symptoms onto the other members of the system or family. This is likely to result in conflict and divisions within the family, as each person is perhaps seen by the others as not coping adequately, as preoccupied with irrational thoughts, wallowing in self-pity or prolonging the grieving process. E. Teens are at the age when they want to be more independent. Just at the time they're trying to separate themselves from home, their mother's breast cancer pulls them back in. They may have to take on more responsibilities at home. F. The advantages of this sort of support for siblings is that they often feel left out and jealous of the attention the sick child receives, so these days are meant to be special to them. It allows them, through play, to express and work through their feelings, and they learn to mix with other children going through similar experiences.G. blame and guilt H. emotion-focused coping I. Talk to him, but mostly listen. Find the right confidant. Encourage a support group. Consider the possibility of depression.J. They found that the mothers’ relationships with their daughters were at a significantly greater risk than were the relationships with their sons. Seventeen percent of the breast cancer patients reported that their daughters were fearful, withdrawn, hostile, or rejecting; only 8% reported having problems with their sons.
